NASCAR's first Camping World Truck Series race in Canada ended with a bump, a crash and a slap.

Chase Elliott earned his first career win in one of NASCAR's premier series after he spun Ty Dillon on the final turn in Sunday's Chevrolet Silverado 250. At 17 years, 9 months, 4 days, he became the youngest winner in series history.

Moments after Dillon hit the wall, Max Papis and Mike Skeen, who were battling for second place, made contact in the same part of the of the 2.459-mile road course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario.

On the cool-down lap, a rival crew member reached into Papis' cab to confront the driver, and after a TV interview, an unidentified woman slapped Papis.

"We had a really good truck, a very good strategy, running in the top five like I knew we had to do," Papis said. "The (No.) 6 car (of Skeen), I knew he was going to do something not very (sportsmanlike) because that is what he did before. He was starting to bump me around in the wrong corner. He came in the last corner and just drilled us. And he not only put me in the grass, he put me against Ty.

"It was just an amateur move and I got really upset with him. ... I don't have time for guys like that."

Papis has complained to NASCAR officials about the incident and said on Twitter the slap dislocated his jaw.

Skeen, meanwhile, said Papis entered his team hauler after the incident and tried to pull his girlfriend down the stairs as he tried to get past her while looking for the driver.

Chad Hackenbracht finished second, followed by Miguel Paludo, Darrell Wallace Jr. and Ron Hornaday Jr. Skeen finished 13th, and Dillon crossed the line in 17th as his crew confronted Elliott's crew on pit road and were separated by NASCAR officials.

"We only have so many shots to win these things. I really hate to win them like that, I really do," said Elliott, the son of 1988 NASCAR Cup champion Bill Elliott. "That's not how I race and that's never been how I've raced. I had a shot. I was up next to Ty and I knew he was going to try and chop me off. I tried to make up the difference. â?¦ Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do to get to victory lane."

Elliott, driving for Hendrick Motorsports in only his sixth series start, further explained the wreck.

"Had two ideas that didn't work out for me and had an opportunity there getting into 10," Elliott said. "I felt like the 3 (Dillon) was sputtering. I felt like he was really, really close or he was out of gas or something and got to his right rear quarterpanel and tried to move him out of the way and unfortunately ended up putting him in the fence.

"He obviously wasn't happy. He has a right not to be happy. I wouldn't have been happy, either, but at the same time, like we all three said, you've got to do what you've got to do."

Bill Elliott attended his son's win and tacitly endorsed the winning move during a postrace interview.

"You've got a pretty good shot on him right there, and then it's up to the guy on the outside whether you give, whether you don't," Elliott told reporters in Canada. "But all in all, (Chase) did a great job. I guarantee I've lost races like that many times, and I've won them. It all kind of comes around in the way it ends up in the sport. But I'm sure it was a great TV race, and the fans were jumping up when they were all coming through."

Dillon, the younger brother of Austin Dillon and the grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, finished as the last car on the lead lap in the series' first race on a road course since 2000 at Watkins Glen.

It was the kind of learning experience a young driver needs before he gets up to the major leagues with rough-and-ready drivers of Sprint Cup. Learning experience or not, granddad was not happy with Elliott.

"Ty did a perfect job. It was just the kid behind him, but what goes around comes around in this world," Childress said after the drivers' meeting for the Advocare 500 Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he was with Austin. "You don't earn respect doing what that boy did today."

Elliott would not give up his line.

"You just don't stay in the gas until you wreck somebody," Childress said. "He never tried to turn or back off to make the corner. He barely made the corner."

So what about the learning experience?

"You can get beat and banged, but you don't let people wreck you and get away with it and he won't," Childress said. "I don't have to tell him nothing. He knows that. He races people like they race him."

Asked if he had talked to his grandson, Childress said, "I tried to call him, but he was too mad. He didn't want to talk to nobody."
